May aid infarct localization with chest lead; leaves open interpretive weight of specific ECG details.
Does the use of a four-lead electrocardiogram with a chest lead improve the determination of the presence, location, and age of myocardial infarcts in patients with recent coronary occlusion?
The addition of a chest lead to the standard electrocardiogram provides valuable diagnostic information for localizing and dating recent myocardial infarctions.
